Climbing Free, My Life in the Vertical World

Though Climbing Free, My Life in the Vertical World by Lynn Hill and about herself is a few years old I just picked it up and read it. It was an enjoyable read, I especially liked the first part of the book where Hill tells her stories of the early days in Josh and Yosemite. It is alway fun to hear about the legends of Yosemite.

I was also astounded at the many other things Hill has accomplished: school, track, gymnastics, Survival of the Fittest, etc. Lynn Hill is truly a remarkable person with tenacity to stick to things ranging from climbing all the way to ethics (not specifically climbing ethics).

Hill recounts how her talent for climbing has provided her means to travel the world and visit places from Kyrgyzstan to the World Cup podium. She even came to Idaho!

If you are looking for a new book to read, pick this one up.
